Viral vaccines, ToE and predictability

The Theory of Evolution does not provide any information to scientists concerning what will or what won't mutate in a specific virus, gene, etc... it only states that organisms will change. Beyond that, there is no utility to the theory when developing vaccines.

I would disagree with the first one...it is essentially a restatement of the obvious.Being unable to make specific predictions does not invalidate the theory... but is still does not make it any more useful than the paper it is printed on... We also know that our children will be substantially similar to ourselves too. Does that make that prediction anymore or any less creditable than ToE... no. We knew that 6000 years ago...It is a useless theory... that has essentially contributed virtually nothing to empirical science. It can not predict what, where, or when a mutation will occur. That is how your allusion to the flu vaccine falls apart as it would be predicting what the mutation will be, where in the gene it will occur, and what chemical changes will occur. It does none of the above... so it therefore is useless as it pertains to vaccines.
